About this house rental
We are half a mile from the Wales Slate World Heritage Site. There are various paths marked around the Dorothea Quarry. The deepest part of the quarry is 106m, which is below the water table. A Cornish beam engine was installed in 1904 to pump the water out of the quarry, this remains in situ in its Grade 1 listed engine house.
A great location for walkers, cyclists, climbers, water activities and steam train enthusiasts. There is a cycle path nearby which goes from Felinheli to Bryncir. The mountain path up Snowdon from Rhyd Ddu is only 8 miles away, in addition to breath-taking views along the Nantlle Ridge walk. Rhyd Ddu is a station on the narrow gauge Welsh Highland Railway, which was built in 1881. There is stunning scenery from the steam train with destinations from Caernarfon to Porthmadog.
